to incentives, Romania introduced the Casa Verde Fotovoltaice project in 2019 to cover up to 90% of capital expenses of solar systems for residential segments with a minimum capacity of 3 kW. As of 2023, the financing scheme covered up to 4000 euros of an investment in a PV system of minimum 3kW, but
The solar pipeline here refers to solar photovoltaic (PV). Utility figures are for BNEF''s mid-scenario only. 1. National context. Romania has a diversified energy mix, with renewable
The new plan aims for 36% of Romania''s energy to come from renewables by 2030 – higher than the figure allocated it by the European Commission – with 8.3 GW of solar and 7.6 GW of wind.
As of the end of 2023, Romania has 11.7 GW of renewable energy capacity either built or which have grid connection approval, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. Renewable energy, as part of Romania''s Green Transition, offers numerous benefits, including cleaner and cheaper electricity for consumers.
Once we have identified our country''s position in the European Union, we analyzed PV energy in Romania, with the aim of emphasizing its advantages as a sustainable and renewable energy resource. Romania is significantly decreasing its
According to projections presented at the conference, Romania''s total PV capacity could reach 2.5 GW by the end of 2023, almost 6 GW by 2027, and 11.2 GW by 2030. A large part of the expected additions will likely be systems by prosumers as residential solar is attracting huge interest, supported by the Casa Verde programme.
Romania boasts an ideal climate for solar energy, with an average of 1,600 kWh/m2 of solar irradiation annually. To encourage the expansion of solar energy development, the government has implemented many national and European policies to incentivise more renewable investment.
For Romania to reach its target of 30.7% renewable energy of total consumption by 2030, the Ministry of Energy informs that the country plans to install net capacities of 5.1 GW solar and 5.3 GW wind, i.e., to install additional capacities of 6.9 GW out of renewable sources.
These projects will contribute to Romania''s renewable energy objectives and the European Union''s transition to a net-zero economy under the Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework, thereby promoting energy independence and sustainability. The scheme has entered into force on 5 August and is scheduled to run until 31 December 2025. Type:

Reviewing photovoltaic energy development in Romania, from 2011 onward. In Romania PV electricity production is less than 4%, after hydro and wind (35.7%). 1122 PV investments, from a few Watts, the smallest, to 82 MW, the largest. Largest solar park covers 200 ha, commissioned 2013, placed in Ucea de Sus.
Econergy identified Romania as an important European renewables player at the end of the 2010s and has become a leading developer and investor in Romanian PV. We have learned where Romania’s bold commitments create opportunity, where growth is delayed, and how Romania is weathering current international challenges. Solar regulation
The new plan aims for 36% of Romania’s energy to come from renewables by 2030 – higher than the figure allocated it by the European Commission – with 8.3 GW of solar and 7.6 GW of wind. Bucharest has committed to phase out coal by 2032.
Monsson Romania (part of Mosson Group Sweden), one of the largest renewable energy developers in Romania, have signed an agreement with Rezolv Energy (Czech Rep.) to build this park. Another solar park, which might be the largest in Europe with an installed capacity of up to 1,500 MW, will be built in Dolj County.
Since PV can also be installed on a residential scale, the PV electricity production is much more complicated to measure and evaluate for an entire country. PV started to contribute to energy production in general and electricity in particular, in Romania, and can now compete with fossil-nuclear sources.
